5. Splicing process
5.1 Electrode and element inspection
Make sure there is no trace of fi bers/dirt on the electrodes, V-groove, lenses or mirrors. Check the correct alignment of the electrodes and make sure their ends are in good
shape. Should you fi nd any impurities, take them away with a wipe/swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol .
5.2 Fiber preparation
- Strip the fi ber with the help of a stripper. The stripped length should be 30 mm to 40 mm. With isopropyl alcohol, clean any protection residues that may have remained on the fi ber and put it on the cleaver (make sure the fi ber is as straight as possible between both rubbers).
Depending on the fi ber type you will be using, you will need to place the fi ber in a specifi c rail, as shown below:
Rail Tipo de uso
Upper rail For single-fi ber tubes (3mm thick) or BIF tubes
Intermediate railFor fi bers with an initial thickness of 900 m (see example on the image below) .
Lower rail For fi bers with an initial thickness of 250m.
- Proceed to cut the fi ber with the cleaver. Leave approximately 16mm of fi ber uncovered after cleaving (see the picture below) .
In case impossibility to perform the cleaving, check and make sure that:
1 Both fi ber protections are correctly removed (900 and 250 m) .
2 The cutting blade is neither worn out nor marked.3 The cutting blade’s height is correct (the blade should
slightly protrude over the fi ber-holding rubbers). If not, the height can be modifi ed by the means of the screw shown in the picture below:
-
12ELECTRIC-ARC FUSION SPLICER
Make sure that the fi ber placed on the cleaver does not form an angle between both holding rubbers, since it could cause problems for splicing (higher cutting angle). Fiber should be placed on both rubbers, always forming a straight line between them. The following example illustrates how NOT to place the fi ber.
5.3 Fiber type
Switch on the fusion splicer and select the fusion program based on your fi ber type. For single-mode fi bers, the SM-auto mode is pre-set by default .
5.4 Fiber introduction into the fusion splicer and splicing process.
- Open the protective cover to place the fi ber .- Lift the fi ber clamps .- Put the cleaved fi bers on the V-grooves. Insert them from
top to bottom (avoid fi ber contact with other elements present in the fusion splicer).
- Check that fi bers stick out from the V-groove, and that they are placed half-way between the V-grooves and the electrodes (too close to the electrodes will produce a processing error). Before closing the cover, make sure that no fi ber is seen on the screen. This would mean that the fi bers are too close to the electrodes.
- Check that the fi bers on the V-groove are not misaligned, since they may be slightly bent .
- Lower the fi ber clamps and the protective cover; the equipment will start the splicing process*.
* If the option “automatic start” is disabled, you will have to press the “SET” key .
Either way, you should have previously entered the “Start” menu with the “Menu” key. The fusion splicer will not work unless you are on that menu.
Check the fi bers hanging from the fusion splicer are not blocked by the cover or held by the installation (fi ber should be loose enough to allow the equipment to move it) .
Correct positioning
Incorrect positioning
The splicing process consists on the following steps: - Fiber positioning. - Fiber cleaning. - Adjustment of the distance between fi bers . - Fiber-core alignment. - Electric arc fusion. - Loss estimation and tensile test .If any error is displayed on the screen, the process will stop until the anomaly is fi xed .
In case the splicing process fails to complete:1) Check the adjustment of the distance between
fi bers: Despite the fusion splicer automatically bringing the fi bers together, it has a minimum and a maximum range. If the fi bers are not close enough to each other, the equipment will not be able to bring them together.
2) Check the fi bers are not dirty: Clean both, fi bers and V-groove if necessary .
3) Check the lenses are free of dirt: Lenses need to be kept clean, since the equipment uses them to align the fi bers. Some of the splicing fusion errors are due to the presence of dirt on the lenses. In addition, there are two complementary mirrors on the fusion splicer cover (over the lenses) that also need to be kept in good condition (clean). See section 7 (Maintenance) .
5.5 Heat-shrink protection
Before you proceed with the process preparation, you need to introduce a heat-shrink protection on one of the fi bers to protect the operation .After the fusion has taken place, slip the heat-shrink
-

EN
protection along the fi ber until it fully covers the splice area. The process fi nal step will be to introduce this heat-shrink protector into the “HEATER” of the equipment by pressing the “HEAT” key, as long as the automatic heating option is not activated.
Bear in mind that while the heater’s red LED is on, the heater is near its maximum operating temperature. When this LED turns off (a beep will be produced), the temperature will have reached its maximum value, but the process will still be on-going. Wait until you hear a second beep (indicating the oven has reached its minimum temperature), to take the tube out of the heater and place it on the cooler tray.It is likely that the equipment’s internal fans turn on while the heater is being used .This process manages the temperature of the heater’s components to enhance durability .
6. Maintenance
6.1 V-groove
Clean the V-groove.In most cases, splice fusion high losses are caused by the presence of contamination (residues/dirt) on the V-groove. Therefore, you will need to clean both by following the steps below:
1 Open the protective cover .2 Clean the V-grooves using specifi c cleaning swabs (Ref .
232710), dampened with isopropyl alcohol .3 Should the dirt be adhered, you can use a stripped clean
fi bre to push it out (put the fi ber and V-groove forming a 45o angle with each other) .
Note: Apply a controlled force for the cleaning of the V- groove. It is a sensitive precision element.
6.2 Cameras or lenses
Clean the lenses regularly.Presence of dirt on the lenses will result in splicing fusion problems. Therefore, you should periodically inspect the
lenses and clean them if necessary, by following the steps below:
1 Open the protective cover.2 Clean both lenses using a specifi c swab (Ref. 232710)
dampened with isopropyl alcohol, by drawing circles progressively increasing in diameter (start from the center outwards) .
3 Use a dry swab to get rid of possible residues and have the lenses fully dried .
4 Make sure no residues are left on the surface of the lenses after cleaning .
Note: During the cleaning, be careful not to push or hit the electrodes . Apply a controlled force (lenses are very sensitive elements). Excessive pressure could result in scratches, that would make the lenses unusable.
6.3 Changing the cleaver’s cutting blade position
The cleaver’s cutting blade has 23 positions. Each position can execute 1,000 cutting operations, which means 23,000 cuts per blade.
As long as the cleaver operates correctly, do not modify the blade’s position, even if more than 1,000 cuts have been performed. You should only modify the blade’s position if you observe that despite its height being correct, the blade is not able to cut.
Follow the steps below to modify the blade’s position:
1 Remove the fi bers deposit loosening the screw indicated in the picture below:
-
14ELECTRIC-ARC FUSION SPLICER
2 Rotate the cutting blade around its axis. To do this: - Loose the screw indicated in the picture below. - Turn the blade by pushing it from the side (not from the
edge) using a tool to avoid getting hurt. - Tighten the screw.
6.4 Adjusting the cleaver’s cutting blade height
By means of a fl at screwdriver, work on the screw shown in the previous image. Turning the screw to the left will lower the blade. Turning the screw to the right will raise the blade. Upon a blade replacement or a position modifi cation, you may need to readjust its height. Bear in mind that an excessive blade height may produce splintering or lack of cut.
6.5 Replacing the cleaver’s cutting blade
After 23.000 cuts, you may have to replace the cutting blade. To do this, proceed as follows:
1 Once the fi bers deposit is removed, pull out the screws indicated in the picture below:
2 Remove the piece that contains the cutting blade and, by the means of a screwdriver, pull out the screw:
3 Replace the cutting blade and re-assemble, following the steps descrived above in reverse order.
6.6 Stripper
You should occasionally lubricate the stripper’s axis to allow a smooth sliding between both cutting areas. Once lubricated, remove the excess oil and leave the tool dry .
The stripper has four working zones, as described below:
Position Description
4Designed for cutting through 900/250 or 125m.
3Designed to remove the protection layer between 3 and 1 .6mm, reaching 900m.
2Designed to remove the protection layer on 900 micras, reaching 250m.
1Designed to remove the protection layer on 250 m, reaching 125m.
All positions are factory pre-set for a precise operation; therefore, any problems you may fi nd with the stripping mean the stripper is worn out and you should replace it . Remember that for a correct stripping, the tool should be tilted 45% in relation to the fi bre.
6.7 Battery
The equipment comes with an 11,1Vy 7800 mAh battery from factory.
